ETTY, WILLIAM, born in York, March 10, 1787, died there, Nov. 13, 1849. History painter, son of a miller; apprenticed for seven years with Peck, a letter-press printer at Hull; went to London in 1806, in 1807 became a student at the Royal Academy, and in 1808 of Sir Thomas Lawrence. He was long unsuccessful, but by persevering drudgery at last won his reward; in 1811 his Telemachus rescuing Antiope was hung in the Royal Academy, and in 1820 his Coral Finders, and in 1821 his Cleopatra on the Cydnus, brought him fame. In 1822 he visited Italy and became an honorary member of the Venetian Academy; and in 1824 he was elected an A.R.A., and in 1828 R.A. Etty delighted in painting the nude, especially the female form, and as a colourist had few equals in the English school.
